SPEGIFICATIONAforming part of Letters Patent No. 703,950, dated July 1, 1902. Application led September 10, 1901. Serial No. 74,971' (N0 model- To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN W. MCGLURE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Richmond, in the county of,v Wayne and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bnsh-Ohisels; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in. the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to a bush-chisel.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, durable, and inexpensive deviceof this character which shall be effective in action and by means of which chisel points or blades may be easily and quickly removed for sharpening, repair, or replacement with new ones.

With this and other ebjects in View the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a front elevation of the chisel. Fig. 2 is a side elevation.

an end View of the several blades when assembled. Y

Referring to the drawings, l denotes the shank or handle of a tool, having parallel integral ears 2, between which are adapted to be placed the chisel-blades 3, the lower ends of which are providedlwith tenons 4, which are adapted to iit into a'longitudinal groove or channel 5, formed in the end of the shank between the ears. These chisel-blades have their cutting edges preferably shaped as shown in Fig. 3, andwhen assembled the cutting-facesare arranged: in zigzag. order, as shown in Fig. 4, whereby a better working surface is produced. A bolt 6 extends througlrapertures in the ears and apertures 7 in thechisel-blades andY is` prvid'edwith a Fig. 3 is a detail perspective` View of one of the chisel-blades, and Fig. 4 isv tightening-nut 8. If it be desired to remove the chisel-bladeslfor the 'purpose of repair,

sharpening; or Yreplacing themzwith new ones when they become Worn, allthat isnecessary a tool which does theworkyof both-that is, removes the rough and leaves a fine nish.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of the invention will bereadily understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes -in the form, proportion, and details of construction may be made Within the scope of the invention Without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination with the handle of a tool Aprovided with integral ears and formed with a longitudinal groove or channel at its end,

located between said ears, of tools having shanks, said tools having tenons and said tools located between the ears and seated with their tenons in said groove and having their cutting edges arranged in zigzag fashion, and a through-bolt for clamping the tools to said ears, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
